The expansion of Alicante Airport gets underway
29 January, 2025The expansion of the Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández airport, which has just closed a record year with 18 million passengers, has just started. AENA has launched the public tender for the drafting of the projects for the adaptation of the terminal area and the movement area (platform and taxiways).
The cornerstone of this remodelling will be the extension of the current terminal building. Its solution was already defined in studies prior to the drafting of the project and will involve, among other things, the extension of the current boarding dock over the old Terminal 1 and the current General Aviation Terminal.
This new dock will make it possible to handle the future demand for non-Schengen traffic, with centralised border control adapted to the new requirements of European Union regulations and with new contact gates for this type of traffic to provide a good quality of service for passengers and airlines.
